1. Ms. Li Xiuxue from Jilin Province passed away in 1999

65-year-old Ms. Li Xiuxue died in October 1999. She had attended Teacher's lectures. For many years, she was very active in studying, spreading the Fa and teaching others about Falun Gong. After the persecution started in 1999, Ms. Li was illegally arrested three times while on her way to Beijing and Changchun. She lived by herself. The perpetrators harassed her day and night, either by calling her or coming to her house. They also ransacked her house and confiscated Falun Gong related materials.

Ms. Li could not handle the huge pressure. She succumbed and signed a guarantee statement against her will. Afterwards, she continued practicing, and greatly regretted having signed the statement. She was in the state of eliminating karma for a long while. The perpetrators' threats and the persecution were too great for her. Ms. Li died in October 1999, just a few months after the persecution started. After she passed away, other practitioners found that she kept all of the Falun Gong related books and photos in a heavy box, in perfect condition. It is really difficult to imagine how an elderly and weak woman could have managed to move the box filled with materials to a secret and safe place in order to avoid the persecutors' searches. Other practitioners then kept these materials, but sadly, the police found out about them and took them away. At the same time, we want to declare on Ms. Li's behalf that all of her signatures on any slanderous documents were done under duress and against her will and are therefore void.

2. Ms. He Fengqing from Chengdu City, Sichuan Province died in 2003

Ms. He Fengqing was from Huamei Village, Dafeng Town, Xindu District of Chengdu City. Before she started practicing Falun Dafa in 1996, she had a long-term heart ailment and was unable to take care herself. Within one year after she started practicing Falun Gong, her diseases were gone and she became healthy.

After July 20, 1999, when the persecution of Falun Gong started, Ms. He went to Beijing to appeal to the government for the right to practice Falun Gong. In July 2000, she held a peaceful appeal on Tiananmen Square in Beijing. She was later arrested and escorted back to her hometown. She was detained in the Chengdu City Detention Center and suffered there from persecution.

When Ms. He was released, the Chengdu City 610 Office put her under constant monitoring and surveillance. They repeatedly harassed her and finally forced her to attend a brainwashing session. Due to the prolonged persecution, Ms. He passed away in July 2003 at the age of 63.

3. Ms. Wang Shuwen from Beijing died in 2003

Ms. Wang Shuwen, was around 65 years old, and lived at Nongguang Dongli in the Chaoyang District of Beijing City. She started practicing Falun Dafa in 1994. Since the persecution of Falun Gong started on July 20, 1999, Ms. Wang validated the Fa many times. She was detained, interrogated and forced to live under constant surveillance. The persecution brought trauma to her, both mentally and physically.

Because of the trauma, one side of her body became paralyzed. Still, the persecutors never stopped harassing her. In January 2003, Ms. Wang Shuwen passed away.

4. Mr. Wang Donghui from Jilin Province passed away in 2003

66-year-old Mr. Wang Donghui was from Da'an City of Jilin Province. He was a manager of an agriculture mechanism company. He started practicing Falun Gong in 1997 while he was seriously ill. After a half year of practicing, he turned from a weak person into a healthy person. He could carry a 55 lb. barrel of liquid gas up a flight of stairs. Because of the persecution, Mr. Wang and his family suffered severely. Persecutors often came to their house to harass them. In 2002, the local police detained and tortured his wife Ms. Yu Qiushi (also known as Yu Shufen) until she died. This was a hard blow to Mr. Wang. The police of Da'an City tried to arrest his daughter and son-in-law by working in conjunction with their workplaces. As a result, his daughter and son-in-law had to leave home. Mr. Wang also received many threatening phone calls. Because of the constant huge pressure, Ms. Wang had a mental breakdown. On January 19, 2003, he passed away.

5. Ms. Zhao Fengying from Jilin Province passed away in 2001

Ms. Zhao Fengying, was a 38-year-old practitioner from Wangjia Village, Dasanjiazi Town, Fuyu County, Jilin Province. In March 2000, she was detained for 15 days for going to Beijing to appeal for justice for Falun Gong. The county government fined her and extorted 5,300 yuan from her. She was deeply confused by the government's unreasonable action and it deeply troubled her mentally. One day in July 2001, she suddenly showed symptoms of serious heart disease and passed away.
